Italian socialism

Italian socialism refers to a political and social movement in Italy that advocates for social ownership and the distribution of wealth to promote equality and improve the lives of working people. Emerging in the late 19th century, it has evolved through various forms, including democratic socialism and Marxism. Key events include the founding of the Italian Socialist Party in 1892 and its role in post-World War II governance. Italian socialism focuses on social justice, workers’ rights, and reforming capitalism, influencing Italy's political landscape and contributing to the development of welfare policies and labor movements.
